Tuck Everlasting

A treasured family tradition in the greater Seattle arts community since 1923, The Mountaineers Players continues to bring Puget Sound audiences quality outdoor theater under the conifer canopy of its Kitsap Forest Theater every spring and summer. One of the oldest nonprofit theater groups in the country, the Players troupe performs in the midst of the 460-acre Rhododendron Preserve near Bremerton. Giant fir trees surround terraced seating—carved from the side of a natural amphitheater— while verdant ferns serve as the “footlights” for the performance stage.

Trail to the theater opens at 1:00 pm. Come early for the best choice of seats. Tickets available online and at The Mountaineers. See "more information" for our website and details. Hike the "Big Tree" trail before or after the show to see the second largest Douglas Fir on the Kitsap peninsula.

What would you do if you had all eternity?

Eleven-year-old Winnie Foster yearns for a life of adventure beyond her white picket fence, but not until she becomes unexpectedly entwined with the Tuck Family does she get more than she could have imagined. When Winnie learns of the magic behind the Tuck’s unending youth, she must fight to protect their secret from those who would do anything for a chance at eternal life. As her adventure unfolds, Winnie faces an extraordinary choice: return to her life, or continue with the Tucks on their infinite journey.

Based on best-selling children’s classic by Natalie Babbitt and adapted for the stage by Claudia Shear and Tim Federle, Tuck Everlasting features a soaring score from Chris Miller and Nathan Tysen. Don’t miss this warm-spirited and touching musical perfect for the child in all of us.

CRITIC’S PICK! “Tuck startles with its emotional resonance and theatrical force! […] A warm-spirited and piercingly touching musical!” – The New York Times

”Poignancy mixes well with humor, the songs are fresh and sweet […] The music by Chris Miller is magical, grounded in folk, foot-pounding earthy beats and soaring melodies […] Nathan Tysen’s lyrics are even better – delving into complex themes with elegance […] Long may it live.” – Associated Press
